Three Peaks

A slideshow of our Three Peaks in 24 hours challenge. Enjoy.




We managed it with about 15-20 minutes to spare. Hard work but very enjoyable, and we've raised over £500 for Hope House.

There's even a video diary of our trip if you're really bored:

Three Peaks madness

For the benefit of the many thousands of readers of this blog, I'm taking part in the Three Peaks in 24 hours challenge at the weekend to raise money for Hope House children's hospice.

Our NWN Media team consists of Christian Dunn, Carlotta Ercolani, Rick Matthews, and me of course, with Jon Barnett taking the driving duties.

We're leaving Chester in the early hours tomorrow and hopefully setting out up Ben Nevis at about 5pm. Obviously the idea is to reach the summits of Ben Nevis in Scotland, Scafell Pike in England and Snowdon in Wales all in one day. The reality may be somewhat different, especially given the weather forecast at the moment.

Anyway, if you would like to sponsor our foolhardy mission, please http://www.justgiving.com/NWN3peaks/

Thanks for reading - and now back to the cricket.

The above picture shows Rick and myself on a recent training climb up Snowdon. The weather was good that day; unfortunately, Saturday this week isn't looking quite so promising. Below are Rick, Christian and me at the summit of Snowdon.

And, finally, Rick and Christian enjoying a well-earned cuppa at the bottom.
